The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an unconfined root."}], "id": "CVE-2023-3899", "lastModified": "2024-11-21T08:18:19.280", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 5.9, "source": "secalert@redhat.com", "type": "Secondary"}, {"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 5.9, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}, "published": "2023-08-23T11:15:07.573", "references": [{"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4701"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4702"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4703"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4704"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4705"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4706"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4707"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4708"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-3899"}, {"source": "secalert@redhat.com", "tags": ["Issue Tracking", "Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2225407"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4701"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4702"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4703"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4704"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4705"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4706"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4707"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4708"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-3899"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Issue Tracking", "Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2225407"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/FJHKSBBZRDFOBNDU35FUKMYQIQYT6UJQ/"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/ZDIHGNLS3TZVX7X2F735OKI4KXPY4AH6/"}], "sourceIdentifier": "secalert@redhat.com", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-285"}], "source": "secalert@redhat.com", "type": "Secondary"}, {"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-863"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
